> Which I don't agree with, the way it was written

The OP's saying that a technology website is allowing itself to be swayed for the sake of scoops. This is one of the most serious accusations you can make of a journalist, because it's basically saying you can't trust anything they write.

> This is so fanboyish that it's worth the side snark?

Nilay gave the device a 7.7 when Apple clearly fucked up with the Nano. There was a TON of potential for smart watch innovation with the previous Nano. Apple even acknowledged it when they added clock faces to the Nano last year. There were very successful Kickstarter projects based on using the Nano as a smart watch. Instead of making that official, Apple fucked it all up by (yet again) completely changing the form factor.

My accusation is very different from the OP's because it's not based on any factual misconduct - it's simply the result of Nilay (like many other people) getting sucked into the RDF and drinking Apple's Kool-Aid far too much. If you watch the Vergecast, you'll understand very quickly that he has a barely concealed raging hardon for all things Apple.

Someones Gravatar could easily be a profile picture that they use in a lot of places no?
It gives you a 404 if the image doesn't exist, so you can use that. It's all in JS, anyway, so the gosquared server does't need to know any of this.

Can you expand on what you mean by "break the web"?
I don't like the form field labels inside the fields:

1. When I go to the login page on my PC or Nexus 7, I see a blinking caret at the beginning of the "Email address" text and I have no idea whether I need to select that text so my typing will overwrite it, or if I should just start typing.

2. When I go to the page on my Android phone, I don't see the "Email address" text at all, just a blank field with no indication of what goes there. I have to tap outside any field to see what that field is for.

I don't think labels inside fields should ever be combined with automatically putting the focus in one of the fields. That forces you to leave the label in place when the focus is on a field, which is a recipe for confusion. Conventional labels are much more friendly.

After I type in my email address (in the .to domain; see my profile here), it shows me a picture of myself as soon as I complete the address. That's cool, but when I hit Tab to go to the next field it says "Did you mean mg@me.com". Huh? Perhaps if you find that you've succeeded in fetching a gravatar, you should not use the "did you mean" message. The gravatar itself is a better confirmation that I've got the right email than any possible second-guessing you could do about domain names.

Also, your blog is pretty hard to read. The text is barely more than 50% contrast, really faint and washed out. Why do modern web designers think text contrast is their enemy?
Rare earth metals are, despite the name, not actually all that rare. They're fairly abundant in the Earth's crust and mantle.

The reason they're more expensive than, say, iron, isn't that they're rare but they're rather difficult to purify from each other. They share the same outer shell electrons (s and d), and what separates them from each other is their f-shell electrons. Those, however, are buried inside the other shells. So their differences are largely driven by differences in atomic radius, differences which are small in chemical effect.

Which is all to say that the cost of producing them wouldn't change too much in that scneario, even if you had access to a trillion tons of ore for free.
Nope - you have to sign up and add a picture to Gravatar, it doesn't fetch it from other services/networks.
Why does the account creation screen use a completely different layout/style (stock bootstrap)? That was very jarring to me.

Why Can't You Vote Online?
Interesting. The first search result on my search was capitalized, but now it isn't. Maybe I searched on DDG instead of Google and got a weird result.

I wonder whether they'll follow a style manual, though. I find it weird that "The Magazine" isn't italicized, but maybe they're following one that prefers magazine titles non-italicized.

EDIT: I think it was indeed DDG, which uses Wikipedia's weird autocapitalized titles. Or autotitle()'d, if you're a Python guy. I was too focused on the capitalization of the "t" that I didn't notice the erroneously capitalized "IPod".
Technical our email-based login is also OpenID; https://openid.stackexchange.com/ , we just hide the details.

I know it's in the original title, but calling them a "colon cleaning company" makes it should like they clean your colon as a service, rather than providing a good purporting to do that.

Yeah, that's probably more important. But they're related and the amount of data is not completely irrelevant.

Say instead of the Mandelbrot set we're talking about generating large vectors of random numbers. This task should obviously have no data dependencies and there are algorithms that can generate random numbers much faster than an external CPU bus can transfer them to memory.

If raw bandwidth limitations mean that our CPUs see only 10% utilization is this still a "fully EP" problem? Because it should easily achieve full CPU utilization on most any machine, couldn't we say that Mandlebrot is more EP than the RNG problem?
What I guess he means is that the content is not readily indexed by search engines, and does not have a fluid layout which adapts to different screen sizes such as with normal text. And perhaps the absence of linked sources.

How is it silly? As he's stated numerous times before:

1. He is not an Android developer. He is an individual iOS developer. He doesn't have a fleet of freely-available Android developers at his command.

2. He doesn't have much free time, he spends a lot of time developing his iOS apps or doing his podcasts/website writing which provide him with substantial income.

3. He doesn't see an adequate business reason to support Android (profit vs skills or outsourcing vs annoyances).

Within the context he's laid out, why should he support Android?

The Mac App Store. Consistent sales of my $8 app EdgeCase and the $3 Reddit Notifier. Plus the more expensive One-Hand Keyboard.

In my experience it's much easier to price higher on the Mac App Store compared to iOS. Especially when you're selling a constantly-running notifier/utility. Feels more worth it when the app is passively used every time you use your Mac, as opposed to whenever you happen to find and use the random app on your 3rd home screen in iOS.

Police States and Domestic Terrorism
> They where, however, designed from the ground up, to perform well on the underlying database.

Unlike this sentence.
That's optimal for 100% accuracy. You can get much lower memory usage using Bloom filters (basically, hashing words into a small range of hashcodes, expecting collisions, and storing a mask of all the hashcodes that correspond to words), at the expense of false positives. (thinking a mispelled word is correct.) This was a common solution in the 80s.

I don't think people are really hating the Zynga employees. They hate the upper management.
Political donations are not a necessity for the country to work properly.

Pets may be a luxury, but once you have them feeding them is arguably a necessity. What's missing is whether they are buying more luxurious food than necessary.

Anyway, in the end it's a completely arbitrary comparison.
I don't think a bloom filter would be very useful for a spell checker. Bloom filters reduce disk reads when the majority of keys searched for are not in the dictionary. But in the context of a word processor, the majority of words tend to be spelled correctly, so very few would be rejected by the filter.

Method for compressing highly randomized data
> Because charging for content on the web doesn't work.

Yes it does, but the competition is extreme and not very many people are good at making it an honest-to-god business with profit.

If you are good at it, you make money hand-over-fist at the moment.
That money will be spread rather evenly over the population such that everyone spends some small amount. What's scary about the political donations is that small groups of people with particular interests spend vast amounts of money; it's this part of the comparison that matters, not the total sum.

Very cool. Maybe Go will win some people back to the strongly typed language realm. Having the compiler acts as a safety net is pretty awesome. Much better than having your code blow up at run time with dynamic languages.
What I mean is I may use the same picture for a number of services i.e Twitter, Facebook, and that same picture might also be my Gravatar. If I had added the Gravatar a while back, and had forgotten about it, it would look like the service had grabbed it from the other services.

This is not a huge problem by any means, it just jarred me a little.

The article doesn't mention one reason for creating inactive Twitter accounts -- to reserve a name someone else wants and wait to be bought out.

When I first created a Twitter account, I naturally enough wanted to use the handle "lutusp" that I use everywhere (here, there, everywhere). But someone who knew who I was had already created an account under that name, but one that has never been active -- not one tweet. The account holder is apparently waiting for me to offer to buy the right to use my own name (clearly someone who doesn't realize how cheap I am).

My other common handle, "plutus", is also taken, but by an actual entity with a Website -- only God knows why a company would name themselves "plutus", but I can't accuse them of being inactive, only masochistic.

Parenthetically, there is precisely one "Paul Lutus" in the world. Some see this as good thing :), but it means when I see some lame variation on my name like the above examples, I am immediately suspicious.

The Twitter name-reserving follies are a variation on the domain-squatter practice. I have a website "arachnoid.com" that is pretty well-known, so naturally enough people are squatting on arachnoid.org, arachnoid.biz, and arachnoid.net ("buy this domain!"), all the top-level domain (TLD) variations anyone can snap up without meeting special requirements.

All I can say is, when I registered my domain, I could easily have gotten control of the TLD variations, but I wasn't nearly cynical enough -- then (in 1996). As to Twitter, when I arrived it was already too late -- my name was reserved.

I've got a question that I'd love for someone to provide feedback on. Is it the case that a multicore processor must have identical cores?

Let's say there are three tasks, A, B, and C. C depends on A and B, but A is 4x as costly as B. Adding more cores doesn't get around that inherently sequential part, so because of overhead and cost considerations it isn't worth it to parallelize. This applies to most computational tasks: as you add more cores, the effect of the sequential part dominates more and more and you get decreasing benefits.

But what if you have one beefy processor to deal with the heavily sequential parts, and a multitude of less impressive ones to deal with the easily parallelizable parts? Doesn't that give you the best of both worlds?

Is it technically infeasible for some reason?

Exactly, there's no reason for this to be an app, other than the new business model. It's just a blog in an app, not a magazine. In fact, the content will either be from already-free web archives, or will be published later on the web for free. It is just a way to generate revenue from new/old blog posts on top of the web revenue.

I know his focus was on cheaters unfairly profiting off the work of the community and how copyright can stop this but patents can't. But there's something else that current patent law does automatically do for OS hardware that I think will turn out to be very important. Once the community creates and publishes a hardware function, it automatically becomes prior art and can never be locked away from the community by the (let's face it truckloads) of bad actors in the commecial patent space.

With the rate the open hardware community is growing, I don't doubt that it will soon the the dominant force for small scale innovation in the gadget space. I see this as a key part if the final solution to the "patent mess" we find ourselves in today.

How much prior art is there on hackaday right now?

It's not easy for everyone, but I'm pretty sure most professional software developers can pull it off if they try. And renting probably makes it easier, not harder. (I rent.)

A side-effect of having a year's living expenses saved up is that you have a measure of self-insurance against medical or legal misfortune. Combined with catastrophic health coverage, this makes it possible to weather even a fairly bad storm.

Beware of believing the party line on medical bills and bankruptcy, by the way. As far as I can tell, surveys showing that medical bills "contribute" to a large fraction of bankruptcies fail to establish causation. What they do show is that people who declare bankruptcy also often have significant medical bills. But of course many people do. I bet lots of people who declare bankruptcy also have car payments, maintenance, and repair bills, but it would be misleading to conclude that car costs are one of the biggest contributors to bankruptcy. Since no one is (yet) advocating for "national car coverage", the political motives are different.

"Do you take any responsibility for what's taken place, as Prime Minister?"

"Well ultimately of course I'm accountable for GCSB and I won't walk away from my responsibilities there, but I would simply say this is an operational matter, it was at a pretty basic level, and it's been the system in place for a very long time. It wasn't overly complex, it didn't come about because we changed something. The day I found out about it was the day I issued a full inquiry and I've been very upfront and honest about what's now gone wrong."
